Steve Womack Tears Into FTC Chair Lina Khan For 'Blocking Countless Mergers' 

A pig born or living in a stable will never be a horse.

Not necessarily. If they're going to go under a merger may be the only way to preserve a smaller company. It also may just eat the smaller company. It really depends on the intentions and plans of the company taking over. This is where the FTC steps in. The problem is people like you are focused on the wrong things. Who tf cares about another meaningless brand option when Americans have absolutely ZERO choice whatsoever when it comes to what matters most? Do you have multiple options for your electricity, gas, or water providers? No, there is one choice per area creating a monopoly. We're all for renewable energy being it will lower our monthly costs but we're just not there yet. Biden and the Democrat's political plan to attack American energy production for votes from the common-senseless has led us to today where our electricity bills are higher than our mortgages. If we're being honest and realistic America would cause far less harm to the environment creating our own energy than Russia and China bc if we're not doing it that's who is. Neither of those countries have energy production standards anywhere near that of America's. So, yeah let's decimate more Appalachian communities just like they did when they refused to stand up for American made steel. You can go choose from dozens of toilet paper, shampoo, clothing brands though so we're good, eh?

@@meganhale6164 I'll just have to politely disagree with you! The utilities (monopolies) that you mention are highly regulated! Their profits in most cases are fixed, and they are also operationally restricted in many ways! As for energy production, we must transition away from fossil fuels, and saying "we're not there yet" is absurd! More than 20% of all US energy comes from renewable sources, and that continues to increase! Despite that, the US is still the world's largest producer of oil, and a net exporter! No one is "attacking US energy production", but Big Oil continues to spend a fortune on propagandizing climate science, for PROFIT! It sounds to me like you have really signed on to corporate greed in a big way! You even use their talking points! Finally, need I remind you that it was the GOP's (Reagon's) neo-liberal policies that said, "Let's turn the economy over to the private sector, and let them run free! The government is not your friend! Let them do their manufacturing where it's CHEAP"!!

These people are confused about their own gender. Do you really expect them to understand economics?

LMAO she has lost over 75 percent of every case she's brought to court. She's a hack, not following the law (literally by her own admission) and wasting all our money. And she is absolutely hated among lawyers, judges, and her own agency. Which is well documented.
